This is a Dengist community in favor of Bashar al-Assad with no information that can lead to the arrest of Hillary Clinton, our fellow liberal and queen. This community is not ironic. We are Marxists-Leninists.

This community is for posts about Marxism and geopolitics (including shitposts to some extent). Serious posts can be posted here or in /c/GenZhou. Reactionary or ultra-leftist cringe posts belong in /c/shitreactionariessay or /c/shitultrassay respectively.

His baseless assertions remind me of when he declared ResearchGate ‘alt‐right’, and when I asked for evidence all that he told me was ‘I was there a few times and saw their bad takes.’

Why the fuck would an alt‐right website of all things host a black researcher’s report on Fascist Italy’s mustard gas attacks on Ethiopians? That’s utterly mindless. It pissed me off because I wanted to tell people about a serious subject and the first comment that I got was an ‘I don’t like this source’ comment (and a poorly substantiated one at that). I thought, ‘Fuck, I guess that I can’t link to this one anymore.’

That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.

That said, I think that a permanent ban was too long for him.

Judging by the modlog, the ban switched from temporary to permanent after he said some stuff in the lemmygrad matrix room. I have no idea what it was he said, though.

He was throwing a fit and saying he would get hexbear to not federate with us “because he’s on the mod team”

  1. why would we even care that much? Like it will be nice to have more people to engage with our comms but we do just fine without hexbear federated
  2. he’s not an admin over there like he was implying, he’s only been on hexbear for a month and they let him mod a couple of comms, he has 0 sway on their admin team

It’s a shame, I think he was a decent poster

Looks like the Hexbear admins said no. Also, no idea where he got the idea that lemmygrad harbors patsuccs.

Also Makan is very sectarian lol, why would he claim that lemmygrad is sectarian like he’s not???

[–] ImOnADiet@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 1 year ago

Like I said I wasn’t really worried they would listen to him anyways

Sectarianism is when you allow right and left deviations alongside principled MLs apparently.

As well as attacking admins of lemmygrad using baseless assertions and not proving evidence

Ah yeah he started saying dessalines was a patsoc or some shit right? Which, is that even a thing in europe?

[–] GrainEater@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it's definitely a thing in some European countries; self-proclaimed communists who don't think they shouldn't be ashamed of their country's imperialist past

(I believe dessalines is USian, though)

[–] rjs001@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 1 year ago

He claimed he promoted LaRouche

[–] rjs001@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 1 year ago

It’s no longer a permanent ban
